Reading Catch-up • Weeks 1–10

22 © Blake eLearningSUMMER READING • WEEKS 1–10

This summer catch up program provides a great way to help your students make the successful transition into Grade 1. Using fun-filled online learning activities, combined with carefully selected activity sheets, this program will boost your student’s reading and literacy skills.

Bridging the gap is simple with Reading Eggs and can be done in just half an hour a day. So, let’s maximize the summer and get started today! The outline for each week will tell you the online lessons, additional reading, and worksheets to be completed. You will find details for you to set up your students below. The following page will help your students (and their parents) to navigate the Reading Eggs site.

To help you navigate through

the site we have listed a few

steps below. For more information

on the program please see our

User Guides. These can all be

found in Quick Links > User

Guides in the Teacher Dash.

If your students are not working

at the correct level, you can

adjust them in Management >

Manage Progress.

Select Edit on the right hand side of an individual student or Select

All and then Edit Progress at the top of the table. Then adjust your

students to the correct spot for Week 1 of the Summer School Program.

Your student is now ready to begin!

Welcome!

You can let your students go into the library

to read the additional books or you can

assign them one of the books per day, or

towards the end of the week.

To do this go to Reading Eggspress >

Assignments > Create Assignments

(Please note, all book assignments must be

done in Reading Eggspress, even if your

students are working in Reading Eggs).

Then select the students you wish to assign the book to, select the book

and set the date that you would like them to read it on. Please note that

when you have set an assignment your students will need to read the

book and pass the quiz before they can do anything else on the site.

Welcome to your Summer School GuideWelcome to your targeted summer literacy program! This program is for students between Kindergarten and Grade 1. It reinforces the learning from Kindergarten and provides the essential skills your student needs to transition successfully into Grade 1.Over 10 weeks, your students will have the opportunity to engage in fun-filled, online

learning activities, based on the Fast Phonics program. Fast Phonics uses the proven power

of systematic synthetic phonics instruction to boost reading skills. It focuses on phonemic

awareness and phonics practice.

Each week you’ll receive a 19-page booklet. Inside you will find a set of carefully selected

activity sheets that will allow your students to revisit, consolidate and build crucial reading

and literacy skills. We’ve packed lots in so your students can enjoy the summer and get

excited for Grade 1!

We recommend you follow these simple steps to keep your students learning through the

summer whilst still having fun.

1 Print the student pages for the week. Ensure your students have pencils and erasers to

complete the worksheets.

2 Start by setting your students up on Fast Phonics. Activities begin at Peak 1 and allow

your students to progress at their own pace.

3 Encourage your students to read the recommended books from the Reading Eggspress

library.

4 Once each day’s work is complete, fill in the incentive chart. There is also a certificate at

the end of the week to celebrate your students' achievement.

5 Enjoy the learning. Keep it light.

We know your students will enjoy learning with Fast Phonics because it makes

learning to read fun – and having fun is what summer is all about!
